Bee“Chen gave me language around sexual desire, attraction, and behavior years ago. Her nuance and openness is lovely. The book got me thinking about big questions around sex, sexuality, romance, disability, consent. What if romance didn't determine rights to benefits of partnership/marriage? What if sex doesn't drive a relationship. Easy to read, recommend whether you're ace or not. If you want a taste before jumping into a book, her podcast interview with Ev'Yan Whitney is great.”
